Chapter 3088: Romantic

~10 min read 1,912 words

Lunch is just as sloppy, it can almost be called a snack party. There are no kitchen utensils in the golf course lounge, and Shiler can't cook either. Fortunately, he had prepared sandwiches in advance, which can be eaten after being heated.

Any topic related to the future of the mutants is too heavy, and without any research results, relying solely on speculation won't lead to any answers. They decide to let this topic pass for now and wait for Reed's research results.

During lunch, Stark suggests that the topic should return to the right track, because after all, they are gathered here for his wedding. He thinks that everyone should hold a seminar in the afternoon to actively speak out for his wedding format.

It happens that it's not so sunny today, so Steve suggests that they can go to the poolside to play and chat. Stark thinks this is too informal, but everyone else agrees with Steve's proposal because most people haven't played on the slide Shiler prepared yet.

Stark wants to say something more, but Eddie, or to be precise, Venom, says sarcastically to Stark: "Oh, our little baby Stark, don't tell me you're afraid to play on such a high slide? Do you want your Venom daddy to protect you?"

Stark is so angry that he agrees on the spot.

However, there is a bit of a dispute during lunchtime. Pepper enthusiastically invites Loki to be her bridesmaid. The two of them are discussing the design of the bridesmaid dress, but Stark insists on cutting in, saying that Loki should be his best man.

Actually, it was a good thing; they both need Loki, which fully reflects Loki's importance. But Stark's big mouth can turn a good thing into a bad thing.

"Uh, I don't mean anything else, but I think the bridesmaid should be female, right? I mean, um... female from birth..."

Before Loki can open her mouth, Ultron holds up his phone and turns it over. He has been busy shooting short video clips and uploading them, and the content of so many superhero gatherings has aroused the curiosity of many people, causing his fan count to skyrocket.

"Female from birth? Mr. Stark, is this your view on gender?"

"That's not what I mean," Stark says. "I mean, Pepper knows so many ordinary pretty girls, while my best man group is..."

Pepper immediately covers his mouth and makes a "hush money" gesture to Ultron, telling him to delete the video quickly.

Loki lowers her head and fiddles with Mjolnir.

Stark pulls Pepper's hand away and wants to explain. Fortunately, Little Morgan cries at this time, drawing the attention of both of them. This topic doesn't continue, but from Loki's still-rolling eyeballs, it can be seen that she doesn't intend to let Stark off.

Everyone eats a little to pad their stomachs, and then divides into two groups. One group goes back to get swimming gear, and the other group goes directly to the pool.

The reason they have to go back to get things is because there are children in the team. Children who are learning to crawl and walk must use professional children's swimming rings to swim. Moreover, this pool is very large, and kayaks and such can be placed on it. Helen also wants to have a night pool movie, so Eddie goes back to get the movie-playing equipment and the kitchen utensils for the evening picnic.

After arriving at the pool, everyone who hasn't been to the pool is surprised by the scale of the pool and the terrifying slide that looks like a grandmother-summoning device.

To ensure this thing is safe, Steve tries it first. Captain America is worthy of being Captain America; he doesn't make a sound when sliding down, but the conclusion given is not optimistic. It basically means it can be played, but it's not necessary.

Especially the body slide with tens of meters of free fall in the air. In Captain America's words, it feels about the same as when he fell into the ice from a plane back then.

But unfortunately, whether it's superheroes or their families, no one will listen to such dissuasion. They only feel curious and want to try it immediately. A queue soon forms in front of the slide, and screams alternate one after another.

Although the sun isn't very strong, the weather is still hot. Shiler soaks in the pool, lying on the edge of the pool drinking fruit juice. He especially likes lying on the right side of the pool because from here he can see the ridges of the farm. Some of the first batch of vegetables planted have grown, and maybe he can pick some later to make a salad.

Those who have already experienced the slide or are too lazy to queue gather here. Several people soak in the corner of the pool, pushing the table floating on the water back and forth, playing the game of passing the flower.

And when it is finally Stark's turn to experience the slide, everyone's eyes are focused on him.

Seeing Loki on the side, Shiler knows there must be fun to watch.

Stark has always been stubborn. Others say the body slide is the most exciting, so he insists on playing it. The more Pepper tries to persuade him, the more he refuses to listen.

The terrifying thing about this slide is that there is a distance of about 20 meters in the middle that is completely vertical, which means that people inside are in a complete free fall. Even with water flow as a buffer, it is very terrifying. Knowing that Captain America can give such a high evaluation, one knows the gold content of Shiler's design.

When Stark stands at the entrance of the body slide and looks down, he has a bad premonition, but Stark is synonymous with being stubborn. The more others say it's not okay, the more he wants to go.

He crawls into the hatch, hugs his arms, takes a deep breath, and the moment the partition under his feet is removed, he lets out an earth-shattering scream.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!"

It sounds a bit long in the drama, but it actually only takes a few seconds. Seeing that he is about to fall to the turn, Stark hasn't had time to breathe a sigh of relief before he sees a pure white portal appear under his feet.

With a 'swish', Stark disappears into the portal, then falls out from the entrance of the slide, and then falls into the portal again, starting an infinite free-fall loop.

Loki laughs out loud above, while Stark screams and curses below.

"Ahhhhhhhhh——Lo——Ahhhhhhhhh——ki——Ahhhhhhhhh——"

To this, Steve on the side can only comment that he deserves it.

After cycling for several minutes, Stark finally slides to the bottom, and then he goes to vomit.

Shiler, who has finished watching the fun, is satisfied. He chats with Eddie, who is also lying on the edge of the pool, about business.

"What do you think about the arrangement for the newlyweds' entrance?"

"I've considered using a hot air balloon," Eddie says. "Of course, not the cliché routine of a couple meeting in the air. I want to create some illusions in the air, let them take a hot air balloon and gradually pass through these illusions, recalling the beautiful life of the past, and then land and walk into the wedding hall."

"Actually, it can also be completed on the ground, but I think walking will distract them, and they might stop, which will lead to an inability to control the entrance time of the newlyweds. But if they take a hot air balloon, everything is controllable."

"Similar to a slow-speed version of a roller coaster?"

"More like an aerial sightseeing car," Eddie says after sipping fruit juice. "It's just that I'm still thinking about how to arrange the pictures so that all three pairs of newlyweds will be moved."

"They are superheroes," Shiler says. "Perhaps they would like something more grand."

"You mean human causes? But I think a wedding is a special occasion and should be more private and closer to love."

"Do you think their love and career are separate?"

Eddie thinks carefully and says, "Perhaps you're right. If they hadn't persistently walked on the path of human development, perhaps they wouldn't have the fulfilling love they have today."

"Perhaps you can combine the two, from shallow to deep, which is easier to resonate."

Eddie nods and says, "If we really want to do this, I'm afraid I'll need your help."

"I came here to help, but what do you want me to do? I'm not good at creating illusions."

"The illusion story I compiled needs a blueprint so that it can resonate with them. Simply put, I need some details of their love, but I can't ask them directly."

"Why not?"

"Tony said I should give him a surprise, so, even if I've done it, don't tell him."

"This is the only part that can involve a surprise," Shiler thinks for a moment and says. "Other parts have to involve guests. To ensure safety, there must be rehearsals. Probably only this part can retain a bit of mystery."

"I think so too. I really intend to give him a surprise."

"Fine, what kind of details do you want?"

"Some details from the early stages of their relationship?" Eddie probes. "I didn't know them early enough, so I don't know exactly how they got together back then. It would be great if there were some details in this regard."

"I can list some for you, but I don't know everything either. Forget it, I'll do a psychological assessment for them tomorrow and ask them about this."

"Don't be too deliberate," Eddie warns. "They are all very smart. If you deliberately ask about this, they will definitely know it's related, and then the surprise will be greatly diminished."

Shiler thinks for a moment and says, "If asking questions is indeed a bit unnatural, how about this? I'll take you into their dreams to see."

"In their dreams?"

"It's their spiritual world. We can see some fragments of their past love in their memories."

"That would be great," Eddie says. "If there are pictures, I can arrange it more concretely and in detail, but won't they be discovered?"

"I know a friend who masters the power of dreams. He can help us sneak in. As long as we are careful, we won't be discovered."

Ending the discussion, Shiler doesn't want to soak in the pool anymore. He prepares to find a few people to pick vegetables. Helen volunteers, and Pikachu and Rocket Raccoon also want to follow.

Neither Pikachu nor Rocket Raccoon likes swimming. On one hand, they both have fur. After getting wet in the water, they must be blown dry with a dryer, unlike human skin that can dry quickly.

On the other hand, Rocket Raccoon is actually a mechanical raccoon. His density is a bit too high, making it difficult to float, so he can only use a swimming ring and cannot play freely in the water.

After Shiler leaves, only Eddie is left leaning on the edge of the pool enjoying the scenery. He sips fruit juice, various ideas for the wedding process design swirling in his mind.

At this time, Venom suddenly speaks.

"I've always wanted to ask, Eddie, what is a wedding?" ===== CHAPTER 3089 =====
